Morgan Sanson - On Loan at Nice

[Dave]

Hope it wasn't a Sanson Swansong.

In the sea of shit that was today's result, that's a thing of poetic beauty.

Edit - was good today. And if he isn't involved in the next game it rather obviates the point of anyone outside the first XI playing well on the occasions when they are selected.

I thought he was good today. Swivels well in tight spaces and finished his chance well.

If nothing, it was a good advertisement for suitors this month. Hard to believe that he’s never got a run of games considering how mediocre we’ve been in his time here.

[Clark W Griswold]

Not sure I agree. I thought he made a good run for his goal and took it well. He was also better than many of the rest of the dross out there but that’s about as much praise as I can manage. I saw nothing to wish he’d be picked more.

"Many of the dross out there" are still all the players that normally play all the time.

So if he was better than them, it suggests that he shouldn't spend two years barely making the bench.

If you’re asking if I’d have him in ahead of Luiz, Kamara, Ramsey or McGinn based on today then no I wouldn’t.

I'm not asking anything. I'm just saying that given some of the horror shows of the last two years he was someone who didn't need to be completely out of consideration.

Right, and I’m not talking about the last 2 years either. I’m talking about future games. He didn’t jump the queue ahead of those 4 players based on today. You never know, we might even bring someone else in this month as well.

[Olof's Beard]

I suppose his does have the mitigation of not having started a competitive match for 12 months too. With that in mind, his performance can be judged a bit more favourably than it perhaps deserved.

[eamonn]

That's probably why he was taken off.

[Allan C]

Sanson did ok today against 4th division players. That’s about it. He’s bang average (and he’s by no means the only one out there) sorry but there it is.

Yeah took his goal well, but gave away possession too many times.  Obviously hasn't played much at all so was going to be rusty, but I hoped for him to put in a top performance to try and prove a point, but he didn't unfortunately. 

[eamonn]

He's one of our few players who's played in the Champions League and at 28 should be at his peak. Two years of injuries and not being given a run in the team will have blunted him but when you see how inconsistent the players that get in ahead of him, I can't see why he isn't deserving of a proper run in the side so we can all find out once and for all.

[bob]

He's the French Ashley Westwood.

[aldridgeboy]

Always thought there may be a player in the tree from the very short glimpses we’ve seen.

But as much as I think that, three managers haven’t picked him. With a lot of players being very average during that period.

That’s probably telling me he’s not up to it.

Oh FFS, not trees again.
